			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you remember we hosted a <a title="Operation Hope Party at Top Hat" href="http://tophattobacco.com/blog/11/10/operation-hope-at-top-hat-tobacco-nov-19th/" target="_self">party</a> to benefit the Montecristo Relief Organization last Fall, before the big Hatian earthquake.  I thought I&#8217;d pass along an update from Altadis:</p>
<p>MONTECRISTO RELIEF ORGANIZATION TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE TO HAITIAN EARTHQUAKE VICTIMS</p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In response to  the devastating earthquake that struck Haiti this                week causing catastrophic damage, human suffering and loss  of life,                The Montecristo Relief Organization is immediately  donating $25,000                to Food For the Poor, a group already on the ground in  Haiti providing                vital assistance. Food For the Poor is responding to this  terrible                tragedy by supplying desperately needed nonperishable food  and water                to the earthquake victims immediately and will continue to  provide                ongoing aid and relief for rebuilding efforts. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">MONTECRISTO                TO MATCH DONATIONS</p>
<p>In addition, the Montecristo Relief Organization will  match dollar                for dollar the first $125,000 in contributions made by  Altadis U.S.A.                employees, customers, consumers and vendors. If you would  like to                contribute and have your donation matched by the  Montecristo Relief                Organization, please send your check made payable to Food  For the                Poor to:<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Montecristo                Relief Organization, Haiti Earthquake Relief<br />
c/o Altadis U.S.A.<br />
PO Box 407179<br />
Fort Lauderdale, FL 33340-7166</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
Help and support is needed immediately, so time is of the  essence.                The Montecristo Relief Organization will match funds  donated by April 15th. We thank everyone in advance for joining us  in this                vital relief effort.</p>
<p>The Montecristo Relief Organization was established in  1999 by Altadis                U.S.A. after several devastating hurricanes swept through  the Caribbean                killing thousands of people, injuring millions and causing  unimaginable                suffering. Since its inception the Montecristo Relief  Organization                has donated millions of dollars to build homes, schools,  medical                facilities and provide scholarships and economic  opportunities to                victims of natural disasters in the Caribbean and the  United States. </span></p>
